Washington (CNN)Florida Sen. Marco Rubio says he opposes abortions for women infected with Zika, as the health crisis sweeps his home state.

"I understand a lot of people disagree with my view -- but I believe that all human life is worthy of protection of our laws. And when you present it in the context of Zika or any prenatal condition, it's a difficult question and a hard one," Rubio told POLITICO Saturday. "But if I'm going to err, I'm going to err on the side of life."
